      Wow. Bitter much? I assure you conservative women have personalities, flaws, jobs, and homes all on their own. This particular video is dedicated to dating. I'm not sure if you just choose to ignore that or if you're confused but talking trash makes you the nasty one. Did it make you feel like a big person to put her down? No. It didn't. It's a reflection of your insecurities and lack of comprehension. If you're not conservative, why are you watching? It's because you're looking for a fight or someone to talk down to like a classic bully. You won't win. You're not better and your ugliness will ultimately harm only you because it shows your true colors to the entire world. I suggest doing something to improve yourself instead. 😉🤙

    • @mandy9604
      @mandy9604 4 ปีที่แล้ว +37

      Totally a double standard. Women are supposed to safeguard the emotional wellbeing of men but if the situation were reversed a guy would 100% not take responsibility for leading a woman on by saying they could still be friends. And also, that isn’t even leading someone on....take people at their word and leave a relationship/friendship if you know it’s not healthy for you!

    • @lucilleli9529
      @lucilleli9529 4 ปีที่แล้ว +23

      Yes and no. I have a friend who told guys interested in her that she didn't want to date them but then talked to them in a baby voice, flirted, and let them spend the night. Then she blamed them for still holding onto hope. If you're clear in both your words and actions, then yes it's entirely on them at that point.

      @@honeymustard881 No she doesn't, but you have to recognize that people are people and when your words don't line up with your actions it's very confusing. If I tell a salesman I'm not buying the car but look hesitant, join the mailing list, and test drive the car, then the salesman is going to hope that I'll still buy it (just as a metaphor). But that's just human nature. You have to recognize that if your actions do not line up with your words in any situation, people are going to read into your words differently. And that's why boundaries are really important and the different boundaries of a friendship is what differentiates it from a relationship. If you continually cross those boundaries as my friend did then you're not respecting the friendship with the guy either. It's kind of manipulative to say "he shouldn't have hoped for anything else bc I told him I only wanted a friendship" then do clear things that step outside the bounds of a typical friendship. You are responsible, to a certain extent, as to how your words and actions affect people's feelings.

She genuinely believes in and revolves her identity around being a conservative woman, and it’s not going to change her mind, no matter how many “you’re wrong,” or “your opinion seems so biased” statements you send in her comment section. Don’t let whatever she said trap you but don’t trap her with unneeded negativity either. Move on with your day, let her live her life and you live yours.

    And you didn’t do anything wrong with your male friend - you made it clear how you felt, that isn’t leading him on. If his feelings continue to grow that’s on him and it’s on him for “harboring hope” that there will always be more when you’ve made it clear you don’t want anything more. You aren’t leading anyone on if you’ve made it clear where you stand. He isn’t a victim if he keeps hanging on to you instead of looking for someone else. Guys and girls can just be platonic friends you know .

      As someine who's been in the same "we can just be friends" situation she describes, I know exactly what she's talking about. I wouldn't really say it was my "fault," and I don't think she's saying that either, but experience has taught me that this pretty much always happens and I'd be lying to myself if I thought "well, I said we're just friends, so that's that." I could see that he wasn't just getting over me and moving on, and by hanging out with him I was keeping that vain hope alive. On top of which, it was uncomfortable whenever he did or said something that revealed to me that he was still attached. It's better for both parties to make a clean break.

      I’m glad your videos are around. Especially in this society some women can just be too much. And I mean that the kindest way. I’m just a very modest generally religious woman though and I don’t really think I was raised this way (I grew up in a single parent home) but it was the way I kinda developed myself into and my own morals and beliefs. I was never much of a partier or drinker either. I also never wants to “experiment” with partners. I ended marrying my high school sweetheart who I also lost my virginity to so here I am only ever having one sexual partner and I’m happy with that. I also like carrying myself more modestly. Not that I won’t wear shorts or a v cut to show cleavage but I just don’t like being sexualized by random men either. Men generally treat me with respect as well because the way I carry myself: This I my own perspective and experienced.

    ... The way YOU talk about men, makes me not want to date men in the first place. You treat them as if they’re two year olds. One day, when you’ve had enough of dressing perfect for him, cleaning his messes, treating him like he has no will to keep his hands to himself, you’re going to end up in a horrible marriage. Also, why would I want a man who judges me by my looks immediately instead of going on a few fancy and/or normal dates so they can get to know me better? I don’t judge a book by its cover at all, so why should the man I want to be with? Seems backwards to me.

      I also think dressing in a way that is publicly sexual instead of exclusive can be a form of nonconsensual foreplay.

    Totally agree with dating for the long term. For me, the qualities that I value in my husband are: 1. he doesn't have a short temper - I can count on him to think rationally and converse through a conflict. 2. I enjoy having conversations with him about anything - politics, religion, the new Marvel movie, whatever, haha. and he encourages me to think for myself and not just agree with him or with what is trendy to believe now. Married for 5 years! Best wishes to you and your husband! :)

      Because liberalism isn't to far off from conservatism especially neoliberalism aka Reagan democrats the socially progressive economically conservative types aka moderates aka centrists aka republican lite. the problem with that is it assumes social and economics are separate which is false. You can't have social equality when you have economic inequality. All that being said I'm anarcho-communist so this lady is so far from my affinities that its likely TH-cam is forcing an ideology or she payed big bank to have TH-cam to saturate her videos across all demographics likely backed by conservative think tanks or a patron trying to spread consercative propaganda. Conservatives are a minority but the establishment likes to artificially inflate their relevance by saturating media with personalities and news slanted to it because conservatives are easier to manipulate into keeping the exploitations by the few goin with little effort I mean one of the main tenants of conservatism is Tradition which is the absence of change and in a system of Inequalities and tyranny by a few aristocratic capitalists what better than conservatism to make sure that system doesn't change. What a poor poor trapped little woman she is what a waste of potential.

      Cassie Hall conservatism is a wide range of opinions and people but I think from an anthropological view point it is interesting; we live in a media and physical political bubbles these days surrounding ourselves with people who think like us and act like us. I, personally live in the Bay Area which is very liberal, so it is interesting seeing someone touting traditional gender roles under the guise that this is progress when I am surrounded by people and philosophies which expand the idea of gender and sexuality to include people across the gender spectrum. She appears to be very influenced by this notion of conservative tradition as the woman as the maker of the home, the woman distracting men with....dare I say....the female body.....(because as we know...men cannot control themselves) and seems to live by this notion that she must control herself in fear of going against some moral code. I think my point here is that although she is on the more extreme side she does represent a part of the conservative community that gets squashed because of political correctness, and it is interesting to hear( especially on the Internet...and the especially videos that are advertised to a largely liberal audience) who will still publicly endorse these ideas

Plus, I think the male equivalent of a girl telling a guy she doesn’t like but wants to stay friends would be a guy telling a girl he doesn’t like her and asking to stay friends, not hooking up.

I've been told that waiting for marriage is a mistake and that I'm going to inevitably fail so why make that kind of commitment. I've been told that I'm too picky because I only want to date someone who shares my religion. The important thing to remember is that you determine your values, not anyone else.

    I dated this one guy who was really into me physically despite that I dress really modestly, and I think one thing to keep in mind while dating is having the other person talk about their views because my ex just told me things I wanted to hear and would “agree” with me despite him actually having the complete opposite.
    I put a lot of trust in him because I thought he would think about what’s best for me, but he would say things like, “I just don’t think it’s fair for the both of us,” in order to manipulate me into doing things I’m not cool with. In the end, I did a lot of things I’m ashamed of, and I feel betrayed.
    In hindsight, I should’ve payed more attention to the small things because they really do add up.

    Tip: Choose a man with good character AND be of good character.

You can overcome a lot of problems down the road if you're not dealing with character flaws. A lot of guys don't understand this because they were not taught when they were young. In cases like this, I would hold off on getting too serious until he can demonstrate these qualities.

    What's the worst is when a girl says she's not interested, but on top of still wanting to hang out, she exploits his feelings by having him do little for her. When I met my husband, he had a female "friend". The two times we met, she would want to dominate the conservation, bring up all the sweet little things he used to do for her, and even gave me advice on how to get what I want with him. When I told her that our relationship wasn't about me getting what I wanted, but us working together, she said I didn't know him as well as she did. The day after the second encounter, I told him it was her or me. Throughout the years, I felt bad about giving him that ultimatum, but looking back now, I think I did the right thing. Sorry about this rant, but it is related. Don't be *that* girl, but also, don't put up with *that* girl.
    Related rant: get to know his friends fairly well before the relationship gets serious. They don't have to become your friends as well, necessarily, but they should be treating you with basic respect and courtesy. You can tell a lot about a guy just from what he's like around his friends and how they interact with you.

For example, my husband's friend expected that whenever she called him, he would just drop whatever he was doing and take care of her. Even after we were married, she would sometimes call at 3am just because she had a fight with her husband and needed mine to comfort her. Everyone talks about boundaries in romantic relationships, and rightfully so, but they are also important in friendships as well.

It's an encouragement to know that my dating pool got just a little bit wiser because of your video. I found the part about sex prolonging a relationship that doesn't need to be prolonged to be especially true. It also makes things that much tougher when it's over, and is something I wish I had known sooner. There are so many good reasons to wait until marriage, beyond those listed in scripture.

    Hi Abby, I'm not someone who has conservative values, and there are a lot of things we would disagree on, BUT I wanted to give you some of my thoughts. I love that you are being honest about your values and thoughts even though they are earning you a lot of backlash. There are a lot of sweet and strong women I can think of who are tight lipped about their values and beliefs, and I think it's cool that you are letting people in on who you really are. I would rather every woman be this honest about what they believe in than have any woman feel like they have to keep quiet about their beliefs. You aren't hurting anyone by living your life the way you desire to live it. I don't think you have intentions of trying to convert anyone to being a conservative. I feel like you're just being yourself and trying to forge a path for other conservative women to feel safe to discuss their beliefs, and that's cool. Also, I appreciate your aesthetic/background design in your videos. Your outfits and makeup are always on point and you're a very feminine/dainty/delightful/beautiful girl and it's nice to view videos of people who look like have their lives together lol. Finally, about the sex before marriage stuff, I do think it is very important for men/women to learn how to say no. Maybe you could make a video about that, "HOW to save yourself for marriage", because saying no is really hard for a lot of people, especially submissive men/women. Personally, I am not married and I am not waiting for marriage, BUT I would tell young men/women to say no until they are seriously ready. Unless they are seriously ready, they might not enjoy it. Some men/women might be ready at a different age than others, some men/women have zero plans of getting married, some men/women don't like the opposite sex/gender lol. Everyone is different, but yea, waiting until both people are absolutely ready is the best advice I have on the subject, and people should be comfortable saying no until that time comes. It's totally up to personal opinion about whether someone waits or not, and people who want to wait should not be criticized for waiting, just like people who don't want to wait should not be criticized. To each their own, live and let live, peace & love.

      More conservatives need to hear more liberals say stuff like this. Seriously. Our society is so polarized, and it doesn’t have to be. The desire for freedom when it comes to beliefs and expression is common ground, and we don’t have to agree with each other politically or otherwise in order to respect each other. And something I think most people can agree with is that both right and left can have extremes that the majority doesn’t want. The way you avoid those extremes is by not suppressing the other side, so their voices can provide equilibrium.

    LOVE this video! Yes, religion & politics play a HUGE part in dating. And the sooner we accept this fact, the better. In my personal experience, it makes things clear and simplifies a lot of the dating process. Years ago, I used to think that letting things "develop naturally" was the best way to date. And that worrying too much about "ticking boxes" felt a little desperate and could kill the fun and spontaneity of the relationship. But here's the thing: dating to have fun and sharing the same superficial interests is infantile and the easiest thing ever. Anyone can do it! In fact, that is exactly what most people do and it's not exactly paying up. The fun parts (shared superficial interests) are the easiest things to find out or to build together. Also, Abby, I couldn't agree more with you when you talk about chemistry! It is not a good parameter to measure compatibility, it makes things confusing and can turn into a huge trap! Finally, I love this topic and would love to keep this conversation going. Also, it's really interesting reading what guys comment in your videos!

      Sybil Reichlan and self identification isn’t really a good indicator of someone’s actual political leanings. Theirs a lot of interpretation in what you’re saying

    Omg l was so worried about dating as a strong conservative religious woman. I’m opinionated about not marrying someone who disagrees with my beliefs. Love the vid! More girl talks! ❤️

      Naomi Schiller you have the rest of your life to work on it together. « Till death do us part. »
      That’s the point of loving someone and being so comfortable to be vulnerable and make it work for the both of you

      Naomi Schiller married couples have better sexual experiences than people who are single. It’s probably going to be bad the first time, but as long as you have open communication and work together to get better, sex will be enjoyable overtime. And if it continues to go poorly then seek a therapist that is trained in helping married couples.

    So many ppl are not open minded. Y'all acting like she is a teacher telling you what to do. Just tips ppl calm down. Some things you like take it and imply in your life dont agree then dont imply..... super easy just like her convo on dating

      Obviously I just don't want to see the videos. It like when you get annoyed because some Jehovah's Witness showed up at your door at 6 in the morning to try to convert you to Christianity. It's like that.

    Honesty, honesty, honesty! Similar political views too. Knowing from the first day that we could ask each other the big questions and bond over those discussions rather than debating or hiding our opinions has made my relationship strong. The superficial things came as a bonus, and I still appreciate them even though they aren't the core of our relationship 💛
    Thank you for providing advice for women (especially young women!) from a conservative and compassionate perspective. We need it now more than ever before in a time when girls are told modesty is unimportant and hookup culture is empowering.

    How Conservative woman date: Let the man make all the decisions and sit there smiling and putting on a big smile. Doing your duty as a woman to make the man feel in power of your every move.
    How Liberal woman date: Have their own opinions and show the man how driven they are to succeed, no matter what that success may look like. This is for themselves, not for anyone else.

      SMH Ace of Spades “Believe in free speech” as in calling football players who kneel during the National Anthem “Son’s of Bitches”? Or Laura Ingraham, a propaganda analyst that Donald Trump has praised, coining the phrase “shut up and dribble”. Get out of here with that, Karen. Especially when you openly support a party who currently is being represented by a president who has proven my points.

    I've found some of your views pretty yuck (about modesty and sexuality) but I'll give credit where its due. I'm 8 minutes in ish and so far I'm like...."this is mostly solid advice...this is pretty close to what I figured out and followed and then met my fiance". We're both left leaning independents btw
